Abstract
There is a good chance that you know about acne, commonly known as pimples. But you may not be familiar with hidradenitis suppurativa (HS)! HS is a skin condition that can resemble acne in its early stages, but it has unique features that evolve over time, leading to chronic inflammation deep in the skin. HS causes painful bumps called boils in areas with many sweat glands and hair follicles, such as the armpits. Some patients may experience uncontrollable body odor because of their inflammation. The cause of HS is unknown, but there are many educated guesses as to what contributes to HS. The physical, mental, and emotional pain caused by HS makes its treatment complex. The goals of this article are to increase awareness and understanding of HS, and to empower people living with HS and those who care about them.
